he was a coward?

Bob Woodward, was in the navy for 5 years and admitted on Larry King he didn't like the war. he actually said he didn't have the courage to stand up, so he kept his mouth shut except for yer sir, and saluted like a good soldier. He tries to remain neutral but the look on his face said he admired the courage anti war protestors, but like most people hadn't evolved enough to stand up. Never in any revolution has the majority actually did anything. I was disgusted to learn that after 4 kent state students were murdered at a protest by the national guard 89% of the nation sided with the national guard. Bush needs to admit his cowardice.

George Bush himself left no doubt why he joined the National Guard: to get out of Vietnam. In May 1984, he told the Houston Chronicle: "I was not prepared to shoot my eardrum out with a shotgun in order to get a deferment. Nor was I willing to go to Canada. So I chose to better myself by learning how to fly airplanes."
